Default Re: Headlight Installation

Sort of a pain really.
I started by removing the grill.
A couple of bolts on top of each light.
The hard ones to reach are the bottom bolts - manual says access through the wheel well access panels. I had to remove the panels in front of the wheels, behind the front facia, to reach the bolts.
Unplugging the wiring is a bit tight as expected.
Then the lights do not just pull or lift out- they have to be rotated, angled, and persuaded into removal.

Download the service manual if you have not done so - just to get an idea of the bolt locations.

Good luck!

edit *also remove the bolt holding the facia between the grill & headlight to allow some "flex" during persuasion
